Boris Johnson evacuated from Ukraine train after Russian drone strike

In September 2026, a train in Ukraine carrying former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and a German diplomat was evacuated after a Russian drone strike near the Polish border. Reports say the drone hit a train behind Johnson's, and officials suggested the train may have been targeted. Johnson and other European officials had been at a Ukrainian train station shortly before the strike.

Johnson later commented on the incident. The event occurred near Ukraine's border with Poland, a NATO member.
